And a ridiculously awesome new urban sport was born…

A Frenchmen tries to race a subway train between two adjacent stops.

I’ve often wondered about this in London. Some of the tube stops in London are close enough together that it’s possible to leisurely stroll from one to another more quickly than going by tube, so clearly this is a game that can be played on easy mode. But this anonymous Frenchman’s inaugural run shows that there are some challenging, but possible, courses in this exciting new urban sport.

Sorry Sounders. Can’t win ‘em all. In fact, in some of them, you can’t even score.

Congrats to Rooney on the hat trick, though.
